[NLRS] CT1DMK Phase Lock Loop parts

[Donn Baker]

Hi all,

I've finally gotten off my duff, and finished kitting up the parts for the
CT1DMK PLLs !  I apologize for the extraordinary delay... I did not expect
it to take this long.

The parts kit has everything EXCEPT the three (3) SMB connectors shown in
the picture on Luis' web site.  They were too expensive (~$8 EACH), and
would have about doubled the cost.

The parts kits are $28 each, plus $4 shipping (Priority Mail).  If you're
getting more than one, they can go in the same mail pouch, and you save a
few bucks.  Obviously, those you pick up at Breakfast, etc., won't be
charged the $4.

You need to download the documentation (layout, schematic, write-ups) from
the CT1DMK web site.  <http:/gref.cfn.ist.utl.pt/cupido/reflock.html>

The CPLD is NOT programmed.  It was too expensive to build a programmer for
the devices themselves.  They are programmed in the board, so you'll have
to send the built-up board back to me for programming (or find someone
locally to program it for you.)  Parts are included for both the specific
frequency and "universal" versions.  I suspect that it will also work for
the up-comming 1 pps GPS-referenced version, too.  The devices can be
programmed "up to 100 times."

Modifications for DEMI transvertes are NOT worked out yet.  They run at 190
MHz, and the PLL will NOT accept that as an input frequency (150-160MHz is
the top end.)  This is being worked on... should have something shortly.

Mods to whatever L.O. you will be running these with are up to you.

Even if you've talked to be about these, please let me know if you're still
interested in one or more.  I have a reasonable number, but about 1/3 are
already spoken for.
